These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A run whose gaps are even is not a rule that the gaps must be even.

Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. The line is the gap between neighbouring strokes in a run. Cinnabar is a gap already drawn. Indigo is the gap just reached. The gold dot is the centre of that line. A plate without the spacing attribute draws no line and does not change its frame. The draw timings are unchanged.
